Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMANGANESE SPECIATION IN SELECTED AGRICULTURAL SOILS OF PENINSULAR MALAYSIAJ. Habibah, J. Khairiah, B.S. Ismail, M.D. KadderiManganese speciation in selected agricultural soils of Peninsular Malaysia is discussed in this study. Manganese concentration in the Easily Leacheable and Ion Exchangeable (ELFE), Acid Reducible (AR), Organic Oxidizable (OO) and Resistant (RR) fractions of soils developed on weathered rocks, soils of mixed nature, alluvium and peat deposits are described. The total manganese concentration in soils developed on weathered rocks … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 7 Apr 2014 · 7,493 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCASE REPORT OF A PATIENT WITH RARE P.ARG136CYS (APOE2*) MUTATION IN APOLIPOPROTEIN E GENEJana Lisyova, Jan Chandoga, Stanislav Oravec et al.Apolipoprotein E (apoE) is a polymorphic glycoprotein associated with plasma lipoproteins and plays an essential role in the metabolism and clearance of plasma lipids. ApoE can represent the major genetic risk factor in development of premature atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and late-onset familial and sporadic Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). We present a case report of a 51-year old male with suspected … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 9 Jan 2014 · 7,295 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification and Mode of Action of Antibacterial Components from Melastoma malabathricum Linn LeavesMourouge Saadi Alwash, Nazlina Ibrahim, Wan Yaacob AhmadThe present study aimed to assess the antibacterial activity of the methanol extract of Melastoma Malabathricum Leaves (MMML), active fraction of M. Malabathricum Leaves (ML5) and isolated kaempferol-3-O-(2",6"-di-O-p-trans-coumaroyl)-β-glucopyranoside (Kf) and to describe the preliminary mode of action against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The MMML extract was fractionated by Vacuum Liquid Chromatography (VLC) to afford M. malabathricum Leaves fractions (ML1-ML6) of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 18 Jun 2013 · 12,621 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Investigation of Compressed Natural Gas Engine for Nitrogen Oxides ReductionP. M. Diaz, B. Durga PrasadProblem statement: This study describes the use of Reformer Gas (RG) to alter NOx emission in a CNG-fueled HCCI engine. Comparison with diesel, natural gas has a very high octane number (≈120) and high auto-ignition temperature (≈600°C). Composed mostly of methane, natural gas is the only common fuel to manifest relatively pure, single-stage combustion. Other fuels have stronger low-temperature reaction … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 15 May 2012 · 7,298 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAspergillus Niger Metabolites Efficacies Against the Mosquito Larval (Culex Quinquefasciatus, Anopheles Stephensi and Aedes Aegypti) Population after Column ChromatographyNamita Soni, Soam PrakashProblem statement: Mosquito is a very common vector of several tropical diseases such as malaria, filariasis, dengue and chikungunya. Till todate, many xenobiotics have been used to control mosquito population and protect people from mosquito born diseases but increasing rate of resistance against these xenobiotics is a major concern in the disease control management. In contrast, extensive use of these … …Current Research in Microbiology, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 21 Dec 2011 · 15,205 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProtective Effect of Enicostemma littorale Blume Methanolic Extract on Gentamicin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in RatsNiraj Mukundray Bhatt, Kinjal Chauhan, Sharad Gupta et al.Problem statement: The Amino glycoside antibiotics cause drug induced nephrotoxicity at therapeutic doses and thus limits the use clinically. Oxidative stress is one of the main reasons for the development of nephrotoxicity. Approach: In light of this the aim of the present study was to investigate the role of mitochondrial as well as post-mitochondrial oxidative stress in the development of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 30 Nov 2011 · 9,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCharacterization of Egyptian Smectitic Clay Deposits by Methylene Blue AdsorptionSalwa D. Abayazeed, Essam El-HinnawiProblem statement: The characterization of smectitic clays has been traditionally made using physical and chemical methods which are time-consuming and require costly equipment. Adsorption of methylene blue by these clays has been introduced as a quick and cheap method for the estimation of cation exchange capacity and surface area. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to test the … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 12 · 11 Oct 2011 · 7,504 accessesView PDFCite
